How do you make a clever character stupid?
You give them an infatuation. A fixation. Something that completely overrides their critical thinking and better judgment. Something that drives them nuts like a switch is thrown.
And when that happens, they're dumber than a bag of rocks. (And they're ...
The Morning Wack Pack Trio
Banes at 12:00AM, Nov. 28, 2024
On Conan O'Brien's Podcast the other day, the gang answered a question from a fan about whether they'd created the show with the classic radio lineup of “Dick, Dork and Dear”.

I've been VERY slowly working on new comics ideas…way too many of them…for several years now. One of the decisions for me is what kind of STYLE the comic should be.
To be clear, I'm not a phenomenal artist, to say the least. So i don ...
Justice vs Revenge and What it Says About the World
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Nov. 16, 2024

Front and Back
Banes at 12:00AM, Nov. 14, 2024
I'm not sure if I've written a post about this already, but an interesting thing we have to think about sometimes with comics is how to make the characters, the foreground, stand out from the background.
Here are my notions on that:
- using human natural ability and instinct ...
How Dan Da Dan saved me from existential dread
Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, Nov. 9, 2024
My comic partner and I have already started work on our comic projects for next year. The beginning of the year is always crazy for us, so we’re using the small grace period we have now to try and front load our comic work as much as we can ...
